Which major championship is the 2026 Open listed under on Wikipedia's 2026 men's major golf championships template?

The story behind the answer

The 2026 Open is listed under The Open Championship on Wikipedia’s 2026 men’s major golf championships template. It is one of golf’s four recognised men’s major championships.

The other three are the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. Together, these events form the modern major championship calendar, with The Open traditionally played in July as the year’s fourth major.

The Open Championship is the oldest of the four. It began in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club in Scotland and is organised by The R&A. Its champion receives the Claret Jug and is officially known as the Champion Golfer of the Year.

A frequent source of confusion is the name “British Open.” That informal name remains widely used, particularly in the United States, but the tournament’s official modern name is The Open Championship. Wikipedia’s template uses that official title.
